We just wanted something good to happen. Neither team played great tonight so it was nice to have more points than they did.
case coaches gets publicly saying
The stats don't lie. That's been the case all along. I'm saying things publicly that the other coaches feel. It's unfortunate that officiating gets intimidated a little bit.

We dug ourselves a tremendous hole we couldn't get out of. Obviously, we caught them in the second half, but we expended a lot of energy doing that.
behind diego dug fell gave half hole last locker momentum san shot
We dug a hole in the first half and fell behind at intermission. San Diego capitalized on it and I thought that last shot at the end of the first half was a big shot for them because it gave them a little momentum going into the locker room.
next worry
We have to live for today. We can't worry about next year.

That would have been huge for the program, beating them again. The place was filled, and we just didn't make a couple of plays late that could have changed the game.

I was thinking about bringing K.C. Jones back.
allowed ball floor
We allowed him to put the ball on the floor and get to the basket.
leadership
We need to have more patience. We need better leadership ... especially from our perimeter players.
ask football free guard guy help outside roles school screening trap whenever
If this was a football school he'd be a free safety, an outside linebacker. He'll guard a 4 or a 5, he'll help out on big to little screening roles and whenever we want to trap a defender, he's usually the guy we ask to guard him in the half.
challenge improved last year
Last year was last year. This year, I think Gonzaga is a much improved team. They have better versatility. The challenge this year will be a lot greater.
crunch knock line step
We've just got to step up to the free-throw line with confidence. You've got to knock them down, especially during crunch time.
felt game line loose second
When the game was on the line in the second half, we got loose and felt comfortable.
allow team
We can't allow a team like that to come in and have their way.
